Clindamycin¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Mechanism_Of_Action Á¤º¸ Systemic/Vaginal-Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis of bacteria by binding to the 50 S ribosomal subunits of the bacteria. Topical-Clindamycin reduces free fatty acid concentrations on the skin and to suppress the growth of Propionibacterium acnes (Corynebacterium acnes) , an anaerobe found in sebaceous glands and follicles.
Pharmacology
Clindamycin¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Pharmacology Á¤º¸ Clindamycin is an antibiotic, similar to and a derivative of lincomycin. Clindamycin can be used in topical or systemic treatment. It is effective as an anti-anaerobic antibiotic and antiprotozoal.
Clindamycin¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Absorption Á¤º¸ Rapidly absorbed after oral administration. Absorption of an oral dose is virtually complete (90%), and the concomitant administration of food does not appreciably modify the serum concentrations; serum levels have been uniform and predictable from person to person and dose to dose.
Biotransformation
Clindamycin¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Biotransformation Á¤º¸ Hepatic
Toxicity
Clindamycin¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Toxicity Á¤º¸ Orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe colitis (pseudomembranous colitis) which may result in patient death. Use of the topical formulation of clindamycin results in absorption of the antibiotic from the skin surface. Diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) have been reported with the use of topical and systemic clindamycin.
